PORTLAND — Troopers continue to investigate a wreck that took place Wednesday afternoon, Feb. 20, along a stretch of the Maine Turnpike in Portland. 

The driver of a tractor-trailer truck, 61-year-old Wayne Oxton of Unity, was not injured when the tractor portion of his truck was struck by a car at mile 50.

David Bergeron, 70, of Auburn was the driver of a Honda sedan that collided with the truck. He was transported to Maine Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries. 

State Police Corporal Fern Cloutier said investigators believe Bergeron was in the travel lane of the turnpike when he hit the truck, according to a Maine Public Safety news release.

Both car and truck ended up in the northbound passing lane.

Police kept one lane open after the crash which was reported at 3:40 p.m., and it took another 90 minutes for normal northbound traffic flow to be restored.

Cloutier, who interviewed Bergeron, said the driver does not remember what happened. He has not been charged.

Anyone who may have witnessed the crash is being asked to contact State Police in Augusta at 624-7076.
